'Short, Sharp, Simple & To The Point. Madeleine Homan nails the perfect SSS&TTP intro when her lead character arrives for work, ready to get down to business in her new film The Creators. There is more to pulling off these no-nonsense, micro-burst moments of essential action than meets the eye. It’s a blink-and-you-miss-it moment of virtuosity comprising a single sound effect, five lines and a sublimely executed piece of minimalist animation. It’s a three second masterclass in the art of character intro which should be taught to all animation students.'
